Dude, will you marry me?
(I've really enjoyed your answers. Yours have been among the most helpful and complete I've seen here. I was actually surprised to look and find that you were male. So sensitive, I just assumed you were female.) ;)
I think you really need a male perspective on some of these things. Many of the issues are really the same on both sides. For every girl wondering whether so and so likes her a guy is exactly the same way. Society has us condition though so that women won't ask guys out even if they want to. This is unfortunate as many guys will like a girl and not ask her out for many of the same reasons.
Personally I just think people need to get over their petty little problems and be honest with each other. Trying to hide your feelings behind vague flirtatious behaivor and then going home to spend all night worrying about why he/she isn't picking up on them or maybe they are, but they don't like you or what <i>their</i> signals meant just gets in the way.
As for the sensitive bit, well... it can be tough not to tell people to shut up and stop being such idiots at times. People might need that at times, but it doesn't work for Dr. Laura or anyone else trying to give actual advice. I do wish that people could be bothered to learn basic spelling and grammar.
